Barberchair

The bed on my old pickup filled full of rain water, it looked like Humboldt Bay at low tide.

Gologit I thought you were describing a cowboy up to the 7-11 coffee lol. Boiled coffee with a little Pentleton or crown to sweeten lol. ED

Calks, Ron, get some calks. Guaranteed to improve your cutting 100 %.

Want to look like a logger? Try to limp a little when you walk, look just slightly pissed off all the time, learn to use snoose, start every third sentence with "those damn environmentalists......", shave twice a week if you feel like it, develop a taste for 7-11 coffee and donettos, and drive a rig that's about the same color as the ground you're working so the dust will hide the dents.
Don't wash your clothes too often 'cause the accumulated layers of dirt and sweat and saw oil and wood chips and coffee spill and donetto crumbs will make them almost waterproof when the rains come.

That's all I can think of right now. Anybody got more ideas?

Limp - sometimes; if I had calks I would bust a leg on the concrete and limp all the time. Look - Check. Unshaven - 1 out of 7. Dirt color rig - Always. Unwashed clothes - Check. Waterproof layers - 4 out of 6.

Have a notebook aka.... your "Brain" crammed in your front shirt pocket with the number to all the area mills, equipment dealers, mechanics, parts houses, potential jobs etc............... and about 4-7 pop bottles rolling around the floorboard a third full of 'baccer spit. And the mandatory tailgate and truck bumper that will NEVER rust cause of all the bar oil, diesel, hyd. oil, and 2 cycle that has been spilled on it. Gologit purty much summed it up!

Rust proof tailgate - Check.

Skills and experience worth a tinker's dam - Nope.

Some nice country and cutting in this clip. For another barberchair, jump to around 730/or 745. Kinda thinking that might have been the last tree for a certain stihl. Dump it and run! Saws are cheap.

Missing clip?...

Whoops. 745 for the chair

 

[northmanlogging]

Oh yeah she bit the saw good on that one, still running at the end so maybe not to much damage...

I'm not sure if I posted these pictures right. We were taking down 98 red gum eucs with heavy leans towards the road. We had to put some pretty serious pull on them to get them going the right way. It only took a couple tries to figure out we couldn't cut through from the back without having the trees split out and fall willy nilly. Not quite a full barber chair but you can see the trunk slivered up a good ten feet and then closed up again on the ground. I started using a plunge cut to set up a thick strap of holding wood and then triggered it from behind. The other 96 went fine.

 

[KiwiBro]

Have given up trying to persuade belligerent red gums. Too many less than happy endings. Until I learn more, it's just gut the heart and ask it very gently if it wouldn't mind taking a few steps to the left or right for me on the way down if it feels like that might be a good thing.

While visiting the olds I noticed Dad had just dropped a tree. I therefore present conclusive proof my fuglystumposis is genetic:

 

[SliverPicker]

Yikes! I find plenty of stumps like that in the woods. I'm surprised I haven't found a skeleton near one or two of them.

Dad's my foot! You been prowlin' around my woodlot again! That's my patented zebra-sharkstooth undercut, I'd know it anywhere.

 

[Gypo Logger]

I can't recall how I chaired this one, but I don't recall that it was very dramatic either. A cull non the less.

No way that's you

 

[Gypo Logger]

Fortunately yes, it was a hung up shattered blowdown, so no chance of an undercut. If I recall correctly I choked it tight with the skidder and finished the cut and winched it down. Most of the butt log ended up as firewood.

 

[HuskStihl]

Are you standing directly under that disaster?

 

[Gypo Logger]

Are you standing directly under that disaster?

Yes, it was hung up in bigger tree, so I could have pitched my tent right under it.

At least the butt piece was already nicely split for the firewood!

I have a big (40" butt excluding bark?) douglas fir that's REALLY leaning over a road, most of the root is hanging in the air because it's on a steep bank.. it's going to be a very fun one to get down.. I'm hoping to be able to coax it to lay along the road, but I'm not going to bet any money on that!

Pics before the cut (chair) as the case maybe ?
